Starflower (borage) seeds contain the greatest percentage of GLA from any other plant, and in this formulation each capsule provides guaranteed 220mg of GLA, making it one of the strongest formulations available on the market. Its advantage is that only one capsule is required daily, unlike the nightgown where it is necessary to take more capsules to obtain the same amount of GLA.
GLA is the precursor to a particularly important prostaglandin of PGE1, which is involved in regulating the function of the nervous, cardiovascular and reproductive system, skin health and a variety of other biological functions.
Although the body can produce GLA from linoleic acid (Omega 6 fatty acid found in vegetable oils) this conversion is several times slowed down or even completely inhibited.
For this reason, a dietary source of GLA may be useful for the body to bypass the conversion process, as confirmed by several clinical studies that have shown benefit from GLA supplements in specific cases.
